Today I’m featuring three projects using my favorite Big Shot toys… embossing folders!  Stampin’ Up! added 2 new ones to the new catalog and has brought one into the catalog from the Summer Mini Catalog;  Elegant Lines, Vintage Wallpaper, and Square Lattice. 

My favorite part about these is how inexpensive they are and how deep an impression they leave.  Using the impressions folders is very easy.

Big Shot Sandwich:

• Multipurpose Platform with tab 1 open.
• Clear cutting mat
• Embossing folder with CS inside
• Clear cutting mat

*Do only one piece of CS at a time for best results.

Gift Box Card

The first project features the Square Lattice impressions folder.

Stamp Sets: Itty Bitty Bits, On Your Birthday

Colors: Pumpkin Pie, Tempting Turquoise, So Saffron

Accessories: Extra-Large Tag Punch, Large Tag Punch, Bitty Buttons, Square Lattice Embossing Folder,Pumpkin Pie 1-1/4″ striped grosgrain, hemp

• After you’ve cut-out and scored the card, you’ll want to make an extra front flap using the pumpkin pie card stock.  You’ll then run it through your Big Shot machine inside the lattice embossing folder.  Add this to the front of the card.

• Stamp the top lid and add the fold lines with the pumpkin pie marker.
• Create your tag with the On Your Birthday stamps and punch out.
• Stamp the inside of the card.
• Add your box lines using the pumpkin pie marker.

• Add your ribbon to the package and tie on the tag.
